Android: ScotchApp – How to parse Excel data and display it using a ListView and Dialog.

Some time ago, I had come across some interesting data about Scotch Whiskey. I soon, decided to parse it and display it in an android app. The app can be downloaded for free at the Android Market https://market.android.com/details?id=Scotch.App

To get this Excel Data into my android java application: Using Microsoft Excel, I simply saved it as a *.csv, opened it using notepad, and copy and pasted it into a string variable (String scotchData).

For each row of different Scotch, parse the appropriate columns for their values.
